Verizon's New 4G Network Will Revolutionize The Mobile Market

Proximity To Present On Verizon's 4G Network At 2010 New Market/New Media Conference


TOWSON, MD - April 26, 2010 - Proximity announced today that Andrew Dukes will be presenting at the Burkshire Marriott Conference Hotel in Towson on Monday, May 17, 2010. The topic will be "Verizon's Upgrade To A 4G Network." The 4G network will allow advertisers to reach Gen Y in new ways through mobile ads.

Over the years, the 3G network has limited the potential of ads because of its:


  • Restricted upload and download speeds;
  • Inefficient streaming videos;
  • Slow web browser.

As Verizon plans on launching the 4G network in 2010, advertisers can use the technology to reach Gen - Y more efficiently.

"The 4G network will open several new doors for advertisers" said Andrew Dukes. "Our focus group results show that Gen - Y is fed up with the limits of the 3G network".
